BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Hoffmann Hospice has signed a Hall of Fame Shortstop to it's lineup.
The non-profit announced Yankees All Star Derek Jeter will be the guest speaker for the 27th annual 'Voices of Inspiration' event on Thursday, February 1, 2024 at Mechanics Bank Theater.
'Captain Clutch' is the latest in a series of big name speakers at this event, including Kurt Warner, Reba McEntire and Mark Wahlberg.
